Rob,

  I had this great idea awhile back to record all of my 100+ vinyl
albums via Linux to MP3's and then put them on CD's for archival.
Sounds great until you try it...  The problem is that when you start
the recording of each track you need to tell the software how much
time to record for.  This is *very* tedious and error prone.  There
needs to be an app writen to automate this.  But I don't have time.
Here are the commands that I used to do one album, note that this will
recored for 9:15 (that's 9 minutes and 15 seconds).

 Hope this helps.

 Rick
